JINGGO JANGGO

Jinggo Janggo — Phinisi, Indonesia Built in the Indonesian tradition of the phinisi, Jinggo Janggo works on a human scale: a timber sailing yacht for one small group at a time, cruising the waters where this kind of hull has always belonged. A refit completed in 2023 keeps her presentable and current. She sails from Labuan Bajo, the gateway to Komodo National Park, with itineraries running up to seven nights and shaped around what guests actually want to do — the diving and snorkelling the region is known for, treks ashore on the ridgelines, and the long, empty beaches that only turn up when you arrive by sea. Accommodation is genuinely intimate: two cabins, each with a double bed, sharing a bathroom. Up to five guests are welcomed aboard, and there is extra bedding on deck for anyone who would rather spend the night in the open. In this part of Indonesia, with no light on the horizon, that is not a gimmick — the sky is the reason to do it. The deck is where the day settles between activities: somewhere to dry off, eat, and watch the islands pass without ceremony. Small crew, short distances, no wasted formality — a straightforward choice for a family or a couple who want Komodo at its own pace rather than a hotel that happens to float.
